So close have the different horses been handicapped by the system of advancing them when they win a race, that five of the ten rnren Innt •Saturday had to go three heats be¬ fore the winner of the race could be decided. Tht free for all trot was won by Jean Oakland, who was nev¬ er fully let down. Kinney McGregor was second and Startle, who won the first heat, was third. The^'e will be a si)e(irJ race Saturday between Startle and Kinney McGregor, which will be for a side purse and gives promise of being one of the best races of the year.
